Instructions

1
Dip a large flour tortilla in birria consommé and place it on a hot, oiled griddle or large skillet.
2
Top the tortilla with a generous layer of shredded cheese.
3
Add a layer of shredded birria beef over the cheese.
4
Sprinkle with diced red onion and chopped cilantro.
5
Dip a second tortilla in consommé, place it on the griddle, and top it with only shredded cheese.
6
Place the cheese-only tortilla on top of the meat-filled tortilla to create a stack.
7
Dip a third tortilla in consommé and place it on top of the stack. Pour a little more consommé over the top.
8
Cook on the griddle, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
9
Transfer the finished birria pizza to a large pizza box and cut it into 8 slices.
10
Arrange cooked french fries around the pizza in the box.
11
Top the fries with the remaining shredded cheese, then drizzle with warm nacho cheese sauce.

13
Garnish the fries with the remaining diced red onion and chopped cilantro.
14
Serve immediately with extra birria consommé for dipping and red salsa, if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use medium-high heat and enough oil to shallow-fry the assembled pizza until cheese melts completely and tortilla edges turn golden brown.
Strain excess birria consommé from the shredded beef before layering to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy.
Layer cheese between each tortilla and on the outside to create a sealed, cohesive structure that holds together when cut.
Warm the birria consommé and nacho cheese sauce just before serving for optimal dipping consistency and temperature contrast.

Substitutions

Monterey Jack → Oaxaca or quesadilla cheese (more traditional Mexican melting cheeses)
Flour tortillas → Large flour wraps or mission-style tortillas (must be pliable and sturdy)
Shredded birria beef → Carnitas or pulled pork (similar tender, shredded texture and rich flavor)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover birria pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat with a lid to melt cheese without burning the tortilla.
